Graham Potter will be appointed as Chelsea's manager - and an announcement could come as soon as Thursday night to confirm the deal.
Potter, the 47-year-old Brighton boss, has agreed terms on a five-year contract to switch to Stamford Bridge.
He has arrived at Chelsea's Cobham training ground this afternoon to sign the contract and he could be set to be in the dugout for Saturday's Premier League early kick-off at Fulham.
Controlling owner Todd Boehly wasted no time in dispensing Thomas Tuchel after the disastrous Champions League loss away to Dinamo Zagreb and he has moved quickly to get Potter.
